No comment.Stock vs stock is fair. To unlock the "full potential of 13900k" you need the following (using OCUK prices as per forum rules)
z790 motherboard (£690 for Maximus Hero)
Contact frame (£45)
Custom watercooling (£300-500+)
8000Mhz DDR5 (last I saw in stock in UK was £580 for Gskill kit)
Much time to tune the LLC voltage for 5.8Ghz-6Ghz all core
Whereas with the 7950X3D, assuming it lives up to performance expectations:
Cheaper motherboard, £300 B650 will do
Cheap air cooler (£50 one will do)
6000Mhz DDR5 (£199 for 32GB)
Auto BIOS settings, 10 seconds to configure
